The only thing that he’s afraid of is girls. So today, instead of making two separate reviews, I’m going to pit Tales of Graces f and Tales of Xillia against each other and tell you which will give you the better bang for your buck. Nevertheless, the Tales series has a strongly devoted fanbase. As such, the series has perpetually been underfunded when compared to the heavy weights in the genre such as Final Fantasy, or the more suave Atlus RPGs, which don’t attempt to make as ambitious projects. Despite having a long history, it has remained firmly in the niche camp, venturing out only briefly with releases such as Symphonia. The Tales series has never hit the mainstream.
The former out of boredom and the latter because of a surprising amount of hype surrounding it. However, in a short time, I’ve cleared through both Tales of Graces f, and Tales of Xillia. Though I’ve played several of the games before, namely Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Phantasia, I never fell in love with the series as much as others have. I have recently been exploring a series that I’m not particularly familiar with – the Tales series.
